Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Poolend without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste, in stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Poolend

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Common questions in Poolend

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
